Language is very simple....inspite of this the author has maintained some sort of interest throughout the narrative...the place where the 3rd chapter ends is perfect.. really makes u want to read the story ahead... nice and simple narrative... all the best!!

Loved the 1st and the 3rd story... the 3rd story almost makes you go awwww... just wish the second story was made a bit more interesting... but a good attempt and definitely want to read further... Good Job!!!

simple language...interesting read... u realize that the book is racy as it has a different story to tell so doesn't want to discuss the downfall in grave detail... the book has ended on a very intriguing note...definitely want to read further...

Rashmi Rathi

Thank you for taking time out for reading and giving your feedback! I am actually glad that someone at least figured out that "it has a different story to tell so doesn't want to discuss the downfall in grave detail." So glad! :)

I picked this up seeing the cover page...oh i loved it...I thought there would be something related to 50 shades of grey...but there was nothing...also there is too much description and very less dialogues...I wish to read more of dialogues...Inspite of all this it is an interesting read and I would like to read further but maybe I would want to read a couple of chapters more to decide whether it should be published or no...Wanted to give 3 stars but because of the grammatical errors giving 2...All the best!!

to start with the positives...loved the cover page and the title...definitely invokes interest...but what is disappointing is the story...it does not develop any interest...its very confusing...the passage of time is not clear...i wish the author could rewrite it as the synopsis also invokes interest...

this appears like a first draft...it requires a lot of rewriting and editing...also the passage of time is not clear...u get confused where is she and then u just skim through without paying attention to the time and place she is in...also there are a lot of adjectives used which makes it difficult to visualise while reading hence does not connect with the reader....i wish there was a little hint towards who she falls in love with...

Well written...I had a smile on my face throughout...felt like a teenager all over again...what i loved that the author has tapped the age well..this is exactly how teenagers talk..few things when we read as adults, we find them foolish but the author has not let that affect the narrative and continued well...i wish the synopsis had not let out the entire story...nevertheless a good read...want to read further...

Beautiful Brilliant and Blissful start... story has ability to keep the reader glued to the book and eager to read further

I'm glad that you liked what you read. About me giving out the whole story as a synopsis, I submitted it thinking that I was telling the BGB admin about my story as a writer. Silly me, I didn't know it'll end up being available for the readers here!

The 3rd story was a different genre...the 1st two stories were all about rape and erotica...a very difficult genre to write...the premise of each and every story was good..i just wished they were constructed better...the climax doesn't validate the tension created throughout the stories (which is difficult to create)...a little bit of rewriting and editing will do the trick...

Sarang Kawade

I have never read a book with mythological characters...well this book has made me wanting to read one...good portrayal of all the characters...well written...siya's character is etched beautifully...d writing has the power to help the reader visualise the era in which it is written...good job!!

i feel this book has such writing that some people will love it and some will hate....but what is the striking feature of the author is his fearlessness to write something out of the box...nt the story but the way it is written shows that the author is bold and doesnt get scared before trying something new...1st chapter is very interesting...second gets a little slow and it again picks towards the end...requires editing some places...but i just loved the feel of the book..some places it does get a little harsh towards females but thats what I loved about the author that he has fearlessly written his point of view...waiting to read further on...Good job...

Remesh

there is too much description in every statement making it very difficult to engage the reader cause it is very difficult to visualise such stories...could not complete it...not a style i enjoy reading...

Thank you for your valuable suggestion....but I think that there is at least one good thing about my book...it depicts that I'm a poet and I owe it's copyright....:)

Compliments for the cover page...Unfortunately the no of pages put up are way too less to judge it ...but whatever I have read I feel like reading more...simple language..simple story (till now)...characters are etched well...the flow of story is good...All the best!!

Initially the story is a little slow...What I didnt like abt the book is the introduction of characters, the transition from one story to another..it gets confusing and sumtyms u get lost...but it really picked up towards the end especially the 3rd chapter...absolutely enjoyed reading...some pages require editing...and ofcourse revamping of the introduction...but overall i liked the book and would really want to read further!!!

Shankar Venkatraman

Story No.1 and Story No.3 are predictable but it was a pleasure reading them for the way it is written...Story no.2 also gets you going as in you want to know what will happen ahead..loved reading the stories...want to read more...these are stories which I can read and enjoy as well as read to my niece who will enjoy it as much..Good work!!

The introduction of all 4 characters is written well....after that it is a drag until Rusty n Tanya....and then it maintains it's graph...I just wish certain unnecessary descriptions could hv been avoided...bt definitely intriguing and want to read how it the story enfolds as per the synopsis....

Gaurav Bist

Hetika, appreciate the time invested into reading & initial review. This novel is based on true events. But I’ll still bracket it under fiction. An amalgamation of Imagination, dreams, truth & my experiences.

3 simple stories...evoke simple emotions...these are stories that v observe in everyday life while goin on with our routine...d only flaw i felt was some portions get very descriptive which is unnecessary....but would definitely want to read ahead....

Hetika Sanghani

Niyati Shinde

Thank you Hetika for the review and rating :-) Coming from an avid reader like you, it made my day! :-) Glad you liked the stories. I'm sure you'll like the rest of them as well, especially, 'Unfaithful' and 'Hype about love'

The storyline is interesting...it is similar to the recently released Rajnikanth movie-"Kochadiyan"...I definitely want to know how the king deals with the matter...would have gone ahead and given 5 stars but for the grammatical errors...requires a lot of editing...but definitely a good story...

A new way of writing a book...feel good..loveddd the way social media is used for writing the entire story...really liked reading whatever is put up...would definitely want to read more....Aniesha-very good job!!

I like the concept of all three stories but somehow found myself lost while reading it..Difficult to visualise the stories right from the beginning to the end...requires editing..but Ravi is definitely talented and brave to opt for something different....

Pritesh Bhosale

A very intelligent book....the thought process behind the book is brilliant...the brainchild behind "Art"'s character is very well written...The book just requires some editing as in some parts it becomes a lil boring and you have to scape through...bt good job!! definitely want to read further...

From what is put up here you cannot make up much of the story that will unfold..wished the writer had enlisted some more so would have been able to give it a better review...bt enjoyed whatever is put up....good job!!

Lovely start to the story...love the way the tension is created..the ragging scene and 4 friends and engineering college looked straight out of "Five point someone" or "3 idiots"..Nonetheless, would definitely want to read further and desperately want to know how their love story forms and grows and falls back...

This book doesnt promise to give you recipes that you have'nt seen or read about before...Sticks to its title this book is for quick recipes and for people who absouletly do not know cooking and hv to cook due to untoward circumstance...what I as a reader loved about this book is the fact that every recipe has a story and a lovely captured picture..less options for vegetarians but definitely want to try "Halloween Sambhar"...the spinach recipe doesnt look any different from the normal ones..nonetheless enjoyed the stories and want to read many more...

This book has a graph...sometimes its very interesting...n other times it just goes down and you cannot visualise anything and you feel a lil lost...but again it gets its grip... ends on a very very gripping note...some parts could be edited and revamped...would definitely want to read further!!!

dhruv sharma

The most striking feature of this book is that it is narrated by a lot of people still it is not confusing...you can understand whats happening and the story connects well...will definitely want to read more...

This book about a girl fighting cancer seems like her diary that she writes noting all her experiences for the same...will definitely want to read more to know the actual outcome of this entire situation and also how she fights the dreaded disease of today-cancer....

Dr Amit Bidwe

i dont know what is with this book-so many recommendations, constant smiling while reading....it is beyond brilliant..do not have enough words to express how beautifully it is written and how appealing it is!!! Tanaya-is this your 1st book??? i cant believe it...wat are you doing woman-please write more coz u r gifted.... I am actually going to pray for this book to be published because it truly deserves to be...I can see it doing great as a paperback and also as a bollywood movie....brilliant..splendid..heartfelt...and wenever I am down I am definitely going to read these chapters again cause it really just changes my mood!!! Once again Tanaya-you are brilliant...Please write more!!!

When you have a problem you discuss it with your friends and they give u solutions to deal with it...This book is like that..simple language..easy to understand...easy to relate to examples..definitely makes you want to try out the solutions enlisted atleast once...one more mention-fantastic cover page!!!

Jahnavi Chintakunta

First of all i did not understand the 1st chapter at all...i did manage through the 2nd and the 3rd chapter but somehow could not understand where the story was heading....the story could not live upto the synopsis which was quite interesting..

140 pages of sheer gripping pages...just absolutely loved the flow, the tension created and the way the story unfolds...The most striking feature is Uday's brilliance of narrating so many stories together without creating any confusion...infact adding to the tension created making you want to read more and more...Uday-if BGB doesnt publish your manuscript I am definitely bribing you into giving me the entire manuscript...lol....cant wait to know more!!!

Harleen Vij

These are those kind of stories that friends have when they meet for coffee..simple stories..just wish each story could have been a bit longer hence giving a stronger message across..nonetheless...good work!!

A book that me and my niece can sit together and enjoy reading....wonderfully written...could actually imagine everything described in the book very easily.....a fantasy world...loved the details with which the book is written...simplicity at its best!!! would most definitely want to embark in the journey with Nitya and Arya....fabulously written..do not have enough words...Sapna-God bless you...you are truly gifted....

just scraped through the first story...did not like the end and somehow could not believe kaka's split personality(do dynamic and go-getter but still meek in front of his brainless wife)...that disappointment could not let me read through the second and third story....could have been better...

Hi Hetika. Thanks for reviewing ... everybody's feedback is useful. My story says every person is full of contradictions ... that's what makes human beings so interesting! Why not try the other stories? They are quite different.

seeing the reviews was really excited to pick this one up...the first chapter was gripping b ut after I started the second chapter it was just a drag...didnt enjoy it...didnt quite relate to the writing...also didnt enjoy the flow...could have really been better....

I would definitely rate this 3.5 stars...really liked the build up..the excitement...very beautiful transitions from past to present and back to past again...just wished that the 3rd chapter would continue atleast a little bit of what was left in the 2nd chapter...nonetheless would want to read more...

Sayan Bhattacharya

I dont know what I liked in the book but i genuinely liked it...I am actually waiting to read her journey from being a couch potato to a writer...Simple writing but engaging...Would definitely want to read more....

The synopsis mentioned alisha talking to him which makes him feel that it was a wrong decision...somehow i was waiting for that...the chapters can be divided into 2 halves...one praising devika and the other praising alisha...Somehow didnt connect with me...nonetheless all the best!!

Lovedd each and every line mentioned in the book...All three stories are heartfelt and make you want to read more and more....Superbly written....Superbly thought of...Nuzhat-You are truly a gifted writer....There are books and then there are heat enticing "WoundCollectors"....Amazingly written...Nuzhat-you have found an admirer in the name of Hetika Sanghani....

Nuzhat Aziz

As was reading through I had decided that i will give this book 3 stars but story #3 made me change my mind....just loved story #3...yes i also agree that the stories are more suspense kind than horror but i enjoyed reading them...something different..would want to read more stories if they are as interesting as the 3rd one....

Thanks Hetika. Well, there are a total of 15 stories in the book and you've read just the first 3. The other stories are more aligned towards horror/ghosts, etc. These 3 on site had a mix of a ghost story, a werewolf tale and a thriller. Thanks for your comments and rating. Appreciated, Shantesh

Firstly i must admit the reason I picked this book for reading was the fantastic cover...its just brilliantly done....Secondly after that cover, the story was a disappointment...more emphasis is laid on the conversations between the brothers wherein they are just plainly praising each other and very less emphasis is on developing the story....did not enjoy it...

Really want to appreciate Story No.2 and 3...Being an entrepreneur myself it is always encouraging to read stories where new ideas for business are shown and also how a person overcomes his problems and starts afresh...very simple reading...Good work!!

3 stories....all three equally gripping and left at a point where u r disgusted as you want to know what will happen next...very very strong introduction....lovely use of vocab...the chapters were of international standard....MOST DEFINITELY want to read the remaining chapters...Kudos to all three writers!!!!

Hetika Sanghani

Ananthanarayanan V

Very gripping first chapter.....but as i read more and more it just got boring....i couldnt even finish the chapters (which is a new for me as till now I have never put down a book)...I am actually clueless...don't know what went wrong as i absolutely loved the first chapter.....don't know what's wrong with this one but definitely could have been much better after the gripping first chapter.....

Hetika Sanghani

Ridhvig

Interesting concept... After reading the synopsis was really looking forward to read the initial chapters but I found myself lost in the characters...also didnt enjoy the flow of the characters coming in and out....there is too much happening all at once...plethora of characters spoil the way the story unfolds.....still confused with exactly happened and what exactly is the main plot.....

Krishna Teja

Thank You, I shall try to establish a better flow. But these characters are important for the story that was the reason i had to introduce them in the beginning. I shall try to make it better. Thanks for the review :)

loved the start...loved the flow...loved Sid....was going to rate it 4 stars but the conversations between the 2 in hindi kind of spoiled it a lil for me..if they had an option would definitely rate it 3.5 stars....nonetheless,feel good 3 chapters, would definitely want to read more.....

Thanks Hetika. I've made a very conscious effort to keep hindi to make it very natural. Quite a few of those conversations are *real* :)

2 stories going on parallelly....both interesting....i have seen this topic just in bollywood movies...have never read the same....intrigued to know more....N.Murali- a good attempt...would definitely want to read how the stories intermingle and the climax ofcourse.... Already in love with Virat Nariman:):)
